Weems & Plath 7x28 Apache Military Binoculars with reticle
BN29
After the Gulf War, the U.S. Army decided that it wanted more "eyes" on
the battlefield. The Army developed a specification called the "M-24"
which was designed to be a compact binocular that would fit in the
pocket of a battle dress uniform (BDU) and be as rugged, have the same
magnification, and nearly equal the optical performances of the bigger
binoculars. The 7x28 Apache is built to the same tough standards as the
M24 binoculars. The new M24 is the first "pocket-sized" military
binocular ever issued on a large scale. The optional reticle (left view
side) allows for easy range or distance estimation.
